Different alphabets indicate statistically significant differences according to Post hoc Scheff’e test; statistically significant at P<0.05. MBW, Maxillary first molar basal width; MAW, maxillary first molar alveolar width; PMBW, maxillary first premolar basal width; PMAW, maxillary first premolar alveolar width; PD, palatal width; AL, arch length.
